I have a large and small breed dogs and she handled them very well. Simba is a 60 pounds puppy and I am super impressed how she handled his excitement and reinforce his training.

“Janet is amazing! She has been helping my husband and I while at work for a few months now and our dog, Nico, loves her! My favorite thing is seeing Nico’s Rover Card with updates on how he did on his walk and a few pictures of him.”

About: We have over 25 years experience raising our Labs, Rottweiler's and now our 2 year Chi-wienner dog, Ollie. I'll come to your place and care for the kids or bring them to me and they can play with Ollie. Walks, playtime and feedings are all good. It's no problem if they need their meds or other care. Your pets will be safe, loved, happy and well cared for, giving you peace of mind while you are at work or traveling. We currently live in a 1st floor 2 bedroom condo in Crystal Lake, Illinois. There are other dogs here and your pet could make other friends. While we focus on smaller dogs, let me know if you have a Rottie; we can consider them on a case by case basis. We raised four and have a special place for them in our hearts. Pet care is my only job so I spend lots of time with the dogs. I feed at 8am and 5:30pm. Walks are four times a day and my husband has them outside when it's sunny. I treat client dogs as if they are mine. They will spend the day with Ollie and I. My husband and I love dogs and to us they're family, including yours. It's my only job. My husband assists me and is here five days a week and every evening. All dogs are given very personalized attention. Weather permitting, my husband and I will have them outside throughout the day. Otherwise, indoor lounging is the order of the day. We feed twice a day, plus treats for all good boys and girls.

“Julie did a great job taking care of our high energy 6 month old pup while we had to work a very long day. It was a rainy windy day but he got walked and dried off and lots of tlc. We look forward to working with Julie again soon”

“Maddie is awesome. I have a shy/nervous dog - but Hailey warned up quickly in our meet/greet with Maddie. And everything went perfectly the next day. Maddie is a great communicator & I got home to a happy dog.”

“Mary. Thank you for all you do. Leonardo always has a smile on his little doggy face after a walk with you. He runs in circles when you come. He can't wait to see you. Even a mention of your name gets him excited. I appreciate you so much. Thank you for always being positive. It shows how much you genuinely enjoy being with him. Thank you for the doggy treats and the extra time you take playing with Leonardo. Grateful to have you in our lives. ❤️”

About: I've been taking care of and loved pets my entire life. I'm recently retired and was looking for something to make my day more interesting. I've had and taken care of fish, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, cats, and dogs. Currently I have two cats and periodically take care of my son's dog as well. I treat all pets as if they are my own. Being retired leaves my day pretty much open all the time and very flexible. I'm an early riser and take the time to walk every day. I prefer to care for pets in their normal environment. This help to keep the pet less stressed out and allows them access to roam about and play with whatever toys they are used to. I follow whatever rules the client has for their pet. If they are training, I will find out what commands, props, and/or treats they use so that the pet doesn't get confused.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have watched friends and families dogs for several years. If I get the opportunity to watch your dog I will make them feel like a queen or king. My customers have told me that as soon as they get close to my house they begin to get very excited. I have a fenced in yard so your dog will get to be outside most of the day if they want. I also enjoy walking the dogs I sit. I don’t leave them alone except for a possible quick trip to the store. I have a bed they can sleep in and they can go on the furniture. I want them to feel at home at my house and a little bit spoiled like going to grandmas house. I hope I can meet your dog and become their friend. I have the flexibility to walk and let the dogs outside I sit. I can walk two to three times per day. The dogs I sit are not alone very often. I currently don’t have other pets. This is the first time in my life without a dog and miss having a dog around. I would love to take care of your dog and make my home their home away from home.

About: I have had animals in my house since I was 4. I currently have 2 dogs but would love more! I have cared for families pets while they were out of town.

About: I have been a fur mama for 13 years, but have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I love BOTH cats and dogs! I have two of each—along with a turtle, so I am not afraid of caring for aquatic animals. I have experience administering medication both orally and subdermally. So I am not afraid to do either. I would love to help take care of your baby in any way! I currently work Monday-Thursday. I am available all day Fridays and Sundays. And full days every other Saturday, because I work a half day every other. Can make some weeknights work, depending on the situation. I have a fully fenced in yard, so no need to worry about keeping your babies safe. Backyard comes with two super friendly dogs who love playtime with friends!
